Isn't this (linking/facilitating) the reason why Napster and friends got nipped? They are sort of helping illegal (as determined by whoever) activities to gain publicity.
While I enjoy freely available and searchable lyrics, I must admit 9 out of 10 times I regretted having looked up the lyrics, it kinda ruins my feeling once I understand every single word and can sing-a-long. Am I the only one having this kind of 'empty-yet-lyric-filled' feeling?
Does Google have the technology to do this kind of scientific searches yet?
If it does, it sure can save these researchers a lot of time; If it doesn't, I'm sure Google will be keen to get involved, especially on the "isolate useful signals buried in large datasets" part.
If these are traditional medicine, nobody can patent it because of prior art, and whoever claims it will not stand long in the court.
Now that they put everything online, accessible by anyone anywhere, wouldn't that make piracy easier?
Imagine a japanese doctor takes a recipe there, adds a bit of japanese herbs and claims it her own? She still won't stand long in the court, but now the enforceability is further weakened because they are so far away and have a different jurisdiction.
I'm not saying that people in/outside India cannot do that now, but imagine the ease of pirating a music CD compared to music cassette. I hope they're not making the piracy too easy even for the most casual pirates.
The first result could be to enable scientists to build living elements into traditional computers, enabling more flexible and varied means of solving problems.
Wow, if this turns into reality, that'll be the end of customization/config files, or is that the end of mankind?
I don't think the European Publishers Council is only referring to Google News, but the whole idea of people start relying on search engines to get their news feed. And sometimes, you will be able to find a news that is free on one site, and by subscription on another (eg NYTimes vs CNN).
And what about cached news articles that could have already been removed from the news site and turned into a pay-per-view article?
I guess there is only so much money to go around in the economy, if Google is making a huge profit, someone else is getting less.
These comments are despite the fact that Google does not place ads on their news service
But when I searched for "DeLay", there are few "news" links at the very top of the result page, and a sponsored link by www.nytimes.com.
So the deal is that AOL would drop Google as its main Internet search provider and switch to Microsoft's MSN service, because under their current agreement, Google derived about 11 percent of its first-half revenue from AOL.
But what happens if AOL users still go to Google despite the default search site is MSN?
MS still commands about 80% of the browser market, and its browser defaults searches to MSN, if this cannot help it, I doubt a deal with AOL could.
I believe a more substantial way is to be a good search provider, and users will be self-inviting.
I guess Time Warner stands to win whichever way the deal goes.

In the land of blind, the one eyed man is king.
However if everybody has night vision goggle, wouldn't everything back to the usual again?

As long as the country can afford it.
